Well, this is the first animation I've made that I deem fit for public 
viewing - entirely abstract, very simple and its obvious I'm new to this, so 
go gently... (and ok, it's not just a simple white sphere)

Any and all comments greatly appreciated.

http://www.soware.co.uk/POVRay/Colours/ColoursHi.avi (800x600x32 ~ 23.7MB)
http://www.soware.co.uk/POVRay/Colours/ColoursLow.avi (320x240x24 ~ 1.5MB)

Both videos are XVid encoded (2-Pass), so should be fairly playable on most 
platforms. (Incidentally, I'm using FadeToBlack for this - stitching the 
images/encoding - if anyone knows of a better one for Windows, please let me 
know - I've only got 18 trial days left...)

Regards,
Simon

Nifty! (and more than fit for public viewing)
It works quite well as is AND could serve as the basis for a variety of
interesting expansions and variations. Congrats.

Thanks! I have to admit I was thinking of doing lots of animations all 
starting/ending with the same sphere then mixing/matching them into a clip 
of some kind. Failing hat, maybe turning it into a convenient colour chart - 
If only I could get ti to render in realtime...

It's a heck of a lot nicer than any animation I've ever made. :-)

You know you've been raytracing too long when a co-worker nearly kills 
himself over losing an hour's worth of work after a computer crash, and 
you just calmly shrug your shoulders and say, "Is that all?"

Can't see the XVid, sorry...

A free alternative is Virtual Dub -- pretty bare bones, but it'll slap your
images together in an AVI.  For fancy editing, you're gonna have to shell
out a few bucks :/

Hi Dan,

Can I ask what OS/Player you're using? Just curious as I was under the 
(mistaken?) mimpression that XVid was fairly universal nowadays... Whenever 
I have tme, I'm going to Flash encode them (the way youTube do) then publish 
them that way - EVERYONE can get flash and it's actually a little easier oin 
bandwidth

I use TMPEGenc which I like. If you want to encode png files  you will need
to download an extra plugin.

A very nice first animation BTW.

Actually no. There's still _no_ 64-bit flash player for Linux available.

And the 32-bit version won't run in a 64-bit environment? I have to admit my
Linux knowledge is rusty so could be completely wrong but I was under the
impression that processes could be started in a 32-bit emulation mode?

The 32-bit version runs fine *if* you have a 32-bit browser (running 
under 32-bit emulation mode, of course). It doesn't work with 64-bit 
browsers.

Now, the *real* issue is that there's no Flash for Linux/PPC, 
Linux/Sparc, or Linux/anything-other-than-Intel-compatible-chips.

Install Linux on a pre-Intel Mac? No Flash for you.
